ADJUSTING THE RINGER
The ET-686 lets you control its base and
handset ringer volume separately. You
can choose from a high or low ringer
setting for the base and the handset.
On the Handset
At any time except during a call, press
VOLUME to set the handset’s ringer vol-
ume. The phone rings at the selected
volume.
On the Base
Set RING VOL for each line ( L1 or L2 ) on
the back of the base to HI , LO , or OFF .
With RING VOL set to OFF , the base’s
ringer does not sound when a call is re-
ceived, but the handset still rings when it
is off the base (as does any other phone
connected to the same line). The hand-
set does not ring when it is on the base.
